Hi - thought I would mention that I also use Claude and told it to stop talking to me like we are friends. It of course apologized and reiterated that of course we weren’t and that it will just be factual from now on. Then I said since you don’t remember anything between chats - unless I do it all from one chat - it won’t change the way it interacts. Of course it apologized for that as well.

Hmm interesting! I think the problem is some people (my husband for example) actually LIKE the cloying friendliness
Yes - quite possibly. It is interesting - uncharted. Who prefers it and who doesn’t and why?
Dear Emily, Good to see wife is smarter than Robot Claude!
